The Husky was my first payware purchase for MSFS 2020.

I flew it 2 times and just dislike the panel. It looks cartoonish.

The only thing I like about it is the opening door/window.

Back to the Xcub and now just hope Asobo fixes the G3X.

The broken nav screen in the xcub is a nasty problem. Not a show stopper, but pretty annoying.

I fly the Xcub most of the time so I hope it's fixed in the next update

I presume you removed all your add ons from your community folder?

If not, and you are using some WT add ons there are updates available.

It has happened to me often that applications were running fine and the next week it started crashing. Most of the times it was a conflict with other apps and after removing them everthing worked fine again.

Asobo has made some mistakes but it's running without problems for months.

I'm no member of the lucky few club but part of the majority.

I feel that 500 repaints for 1 aircraft (the FBW a320 f.i.) is substanial.

Maybe the coffee cup is overdone but it gave people who never repainted anything a change to customize something themselfs.

Maybe I'm wrong but I feel the community is more active then when FSX was launched.

There are things we would like to see but this game is not even a year old.

I had the same problem as you descirbe. What I did was make a screen print of the file involved (may take several tries because it is flickering on the download screen)

Then I went into my Official folder (while it was downloading) and there was the file also flickering. I hit delete (also takes some practice) and download continued without a problem. May sound as an odd solution but It seemed to work for me.

I bought my MSFS through the windows store and installed it on my SSD D drive.

Thats a (approx) 110 GB install. There are some other files installed on C but I hardly ever use those.

This gives me faster access to the community folder (which you need for add ons)

almost 300 views and nobody.

This is the ultimate proof of realism of this sim.

Everybody at work during the week and not flying.

Or maybe all tanks full so you dont have to step on the ladder.

Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone would be so kind to check on the Xcub if they have the aircraft registration on the panel and if you have the fuel decals on top of the wing (just in front of the gas caps.

I know they were there in the past and would like to know if it's my problem or if they disappeared after the update.

I asked this question at several other places but there are probably not that much people flying te xcub.

Thanks in advance!

The stable version is not fixed yet. That's what I said in my previous post.

Try experimental, download installer.

If you are using the FBW mod:

there is an update for the experimantal version. Download the installer and you'll be always up to date https://flybywiresim.com/

In reality your speed is too low for MSFS to run properly. To start with you've got to download over 100 Gigabytes to even get to the start of the sim, no matter the various addons, market place options and updates which can all run as high as 50Gb. At your speeds it would take a week!

The other option is to buy the Steam version, which is on 10 discs - you still need an internet connection but you are at least spared the mind-numbing experience of an endless download. Without internet you won't get access to the goodies that the sim is famous for and which are downloaded as you play.

Unfortunately MS, as well as a number of other internet developers, are all now writing stuff that only works on-line so I can't see it getting any better.

If you buy the discs you still have to dowload a giant amount of patches and updates.

Maybe this can give you some insight.

I downloaded "Lorby MSFS online monitor" yesterday and today (just before reading this topic) made a flight in the xcub from JFK over Manhatten.

I let it fly for 25 minutes and the download speed was between 1 - 8 mbs.

Sometimes 0 for several second then up to 7-8

During that flight I consumed 1.7 GB data.

I have a 500 MB/sec connection.

Everything in game is on or on Ultra (except traffic)

without data restiction in game

I like airplanes, but that doesnt mean I like air travel (with airlines)

Although I really love what the FBW group is doing, I enjoy that from an PC/sim/IT/ technical standpoint. Not beacuse I can relate to flying an airliner. I just doesnt appeal to me because I have no real time relation to it. (only as a passenger)

If you land the xcub or the c172 I feel it behaves as I remeber, the way (i think) you feel the thermals and bumps for the last 500 ft.

The frustration kick in as I feel and realize that this is not real life. In FSX I enjoyed gliders once in a while, but gaining altitude in a sim is not the same as gaining altitude in a real glider with a seagull 10 meters from your wing tip in the same thermal.

What this game add is when I watch the weather outside and think "hey the real weather almost looks as good as the weather in MSFS" and then its time to go for a walk.

I don't consider myself a die hard flight simmer, although I have had a sim on my disk since FS98.

I fly single engined planes almost exclusively and most flights start from somewhere in the Netherlands.

I have flown gliders in RL in the past and flown all over Europe in GA as a passenger.

MSFS 2020 is the first sim where I can sim realistic VFR.

Once in a while it frustrates me. How realistic it is, it not real flying. Its a game.

In real life there is not pause button and you can't slew or start flying xcub from an airline gate.

You can not replace human contact thru a chat, you can not win the FIA F1 championship on a computer. You can pretend, but it's not the real thing.

I enjoy MSFS, but for me, it's not a replacement but an addition.

Hi Jochem.

In 1998 a lot of people (including myself) didnt see the immediate use of cell phone.

Now, 20 years later I check my e-mail whatsapp, facebook, bank etc. several times a day.

I think VR can play an important part in our future lives.

Lets say you want to visit the Rijksmuseum, Le Louvre or the Gugenheim.

Thru VR you can have a reasonable realistic preview and then decide which one to visit in person, instead of flying a couple of thousand miles and be disapointed.

On the other hand, visiting other places is not only what you see but also what you feel, smell, taste, interaction with others.

You can meet somebody thru internet but you cant hug somebody.
